Description du projet
Mettre en lumière la participation active et productive des citoyens
Comment développer une culture de la participation dans le contexte d’une «société de la connaissance» est un défi auquel sont confrontées les démocraties contemporaines. Le projet ISEED, financé par l’UE, utilisera l’expérience de la science citoyenne comme modèle pour repenser la manière dont les pratiques participatives et délibératives peuvent être mises en œuvre avec succès dans la gouvernance démocratique. Son objectif est de développer un nouveau cadre conceptuel et empirique — basé sur un domaine pluridisciplinaire d’expertise et de compétences — visant à tester le rôle et la valeur de la participation active des citoyens dans la prise de décision institutionnelle, en tenant compte d’un accès ouvert, transparent et partagé aux processus délibératifs. Le projet contribuera également à la littérature scientifique sur la formation et la gestion des arguments dans le contexte des nouvelles technologies de communication.
Objectif
The objective of ISEED is to identify, through an analysis of a variety of types of, and experiments in, public engagement on science-related questions and activities, generalizable characteristics and conditions that cultivate active and productive citizen participation in public deliberation. The aim is to construct a novel concept of ‘deliberative participation’ designed to enhance both the quality and the legitimacy of political decision-making, by focusing on the importance of knowledge-based deliberation. ISEED will build on and extend existing experience in the field of citizen science to explore the conditions under which participative and deliberative practices can be successfully implemented for the purpose of building forms of knowledge-based democratic governance complementary to political representation in democratic societies. ISEED combines theoretical analysis, empirical research, and small-scale experiments. It will reassess the role of the public sphere to include a novel notion of deliberative participation in a plurality of publics and counter publics. It will empirically explore how current practices of citizen participation in science can offer innovative methods to confront and overcome a number of current obstacles faced by democratic participation and decision making. It will develop a new tool to describe styles of argumentation in traditional and digital media and analyze the role of emotion and reason in polarised debates on contemporary scientific issues. The ISEED consortium, committed to multi and inter-disciplinary research, aims to deliver scalable results to foster deliberative democratic processes in Europe and other knowledge societies.
